A report from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing recently showed that although the number of individuals enrolled in teacher preparation programs in California increased by ten percent in 2013-14, the number of new teacher credentials issued in the state in 2014-15 represented only a minor 1.6 percent increase over the previous year. Although the year over year increase was low, it did continue a three-year trend in a positive direction. However, despite the increase in teacher credentials issued in California in recent years, the teacher shortage experienced in many communities up and down the state persists.
